There is no reason to upgrade to the iPhone 13 or the Mini. The only real upgrade is the Pro and the Pro Max.

Also no AOD and missed opportunity to go above 60hz on the 13 and the mini?

Very much solidifies that the iPhone 12 will be my daily driver for a lot longer and also will probably be my last iPhone? I don't know I'm not impressed with this announcement.

edit: Also lightning. Can say that I think Apple hates it's users and USB-C.

USB C on some of the new iPads, so a move in that direction perhaps?

Nothing there to make me want to upgrade.

I think they just enjoy the licencing revenue from lightning more. Hence their iPads are now coming with USB-C but I don't think their phones will for years to come.

USB-C has only been on the pro models since 2018 and we only got USB-C on the Air last year. Also the iPad 10.2 2021 has lighting as well. If this is a move in that direction it's an incredibly slow and inconsistent and quite frankly blue balling way of doing it.

Pretty much has been the case and quite frankly I hate it.

My XS Max is a bit scratched up, so I think I will upgrade it to a 13 Pro to get 5G, Magsafe and what appear to be significant camera improvements.

I have some hesitancy around the 13 Pro display being smaller than the XS Max, but I'm not overly keen on the 13 Pro Max because it appears to be very heavy and I like the idea of a slightly smaller device. Then again, it's only $200 difference from what I can see.

Apparently the new magsafe wallet logs its location in 'Find My' when it is separated from its iPhone. That's pretty cool.
